What a win for the Padres.

The Padres somehow split this brutal four-game series against the Cardinals despite tying the franchise record for FEWEST hits in a four-game series with only 15 total hits… and they STILL found a way to win.

Nick Castellanos delivered a MASSIVE game-tying home run in the bottom of the 9th after the Padres had only two hits all game, and then Manny Machado played hero in the 10th with the walk-off sacrifice fly on Mother’s Day at Petco Park.

The Padres bounced back Saturday night at Petco Park with a HUGE 4-2 win over the red-hot St. Louis Cardinals in another game that felt like playoff baseball in May. Manny Machado made history tonight, blasting his 250th career home run as a Padre and the 375th homer of his incredible MLB career in a massive moment for San Diego. Randy Vásquez battled through traffic, the bullpen delivered huge outs, and Mason Miller survived absolute CHAOS in the 9th inning before slamming the door with triple-digit gas and electric strikeout stuff.

The Padres had all the momentum coming into this series after scoring 15 runs in two games against the Giants… and then the offense disappeared AGAIN.

Michael King was outstanding, striking out hitters all night and giving San Diego another quality outing from the rotation, but the Padres could only scratch across ONE RUN before the bats completely shut down against Matthew Liberatore and the Cardinals bullpen.

The Padres’ late push wasn’t enough as they fall 3-2 to the Giants in San Francisco to open the series.

After being shut down most of the night by 25-year-old Trevor McDonald — who went 7 innings, allowed just 1 run on 2 hits, and struck out 8 — the Padres finally showed life in the 9th inning. Ramon Laureano crushed a 447-foot home run to left-center to cut the deficit to one and snap a brutal stretch of 18 consecutive batters retired.

But with momentum in their favor, the Padres couldn’t finish it. Fernando Tatis Jr. struck o...

The Padres grind out a MASSIVE win in the series finale, using elite baserunning and late-game execution to avoid the sweep against the White Sox.

After back-to-back home runs from Manny Machado and Miguel Andújar gave San Diego an early lead, the game flipped when Adrián Morejón allowed a two-run pinch-hit homer to Derek Hill, tying things up and shifting momentum.

But the Padres answered in the biggest moment of the game.

San Diego Padres fall 4-0 to the Chicago White Sox in a game defined by missed opportunities and an ice-cold lineup.

The turning point came in the 6th inning when a two-out bloop single off Michael King opened the door for Chicago. King battled all night but was sent back out for the 7th, where the game slipped away — a key second-guess decision.

San Diego entered tonight 11-1 when scoring first, but a disastrous 4-run second inning flipped everything in an 8-3 loss to the Rockies.
